Sri Ramakrishna

“…the other is Swamiji’s first night at Camp Taylor, May 2,1900. I close my eyes and see him standing there in the soft blackness with sparks from the blazing log fire flying through it and a day-old moon above. He was weary after a long lecture season, but relaxed and happy to be there. ‘We end life in the forest,’ he said, ‘as we begin it, but with a world of experience between the two states.’ Later after a short talk, when we were about to have the usual meditation, he said, ‘You may meditate on whatever you like, but I shall meditate on the heart of a lion. That gives strength.’ The bliss and power and peace of the meditation that followed could never be described.”
